1t Is thought that Mr.. Abraham IIisey,
well known aud prominent farmer liv-
ing near this place. has discovered manga
nese on his place. Mr.. Iisey has sent n
number Of specimens to an expert for an
alysis, and if the report should prove
favorable active and extensive efforts
will be made to develop the deposit We
hope this may prove to be a big find OF
this valuable metal which is growing in
demand almost daily. The nearness Of
this vein to the railroad will make it
doubly valuable if it should turn ont to
be in large quantities.

The new Interstate law, it is said, Will
greatly interfere with the transportation

fashioned wagons Of our fathers and
grand-fathers' days 1t is safe to say that
the Interstate law will be immensely I'M
popular with "Young America as soon as

There has been a tremendous rise in the
price Of coffee. That which sold a few
months ago at IS cents is now p cents
pound and still going up. The cheap
grade which was 10 cents has jumped to
| % cents. II coffee goes much higher we
will have to 90 to drinking sassafras tea.

Keep sharp lookout for the peddlinl

man, and has been going around in Penn
sylvania selling eggs for SO a dozen and
contracting to take all the chickens hatch
ed from them at SO each, representing tina

the housewife has kept these eggs under
setting hen a month or more without re-
sult an examination is made and it is dis
covered that the eggs are boiled. We ma
expect the Bohemian egg man soon to ap
pear m our county.

Woodstock occasionally, got into no
political fight with another well know
man of this place. As the argumen

inc pesticulations with his one arm b
happened to strike paper bag containin
eggs in the hand Of his opponent, an
right then and there tho pavement
front of the Geary House was covere
with one Of the principal ingredients
eeq-nog. Then the fun "grew fast an
, furious.y but we draw down the curtail

many more than one man laughed b
+, sides sore at the scene.
